Favorite AC/DC Album?

I think For Those About To Rock is much better than Back In Black with the songs wrote with Johnson's vocals in mind whereas some of Back In Black was wrote with Scott in mind and ends up being patchy. Bon Scott's version of Back In Black is much better than Johnson's I think.

Any Bon Scott version will always be better than Johnson's.

It has maybe 4 well known songs on it and the rest is filler.

Plenty of their other albums have a much better strike rate than that

Well, the only track from Back In Black that I don't care for is Have a Drink On Me. I love the rest of the album.

Back In Black.

For me it's For Those About To Rock.

Razors Edge

Always had soft spot for this one, even though Phil Rudd doesn't play on the record.

I'm a major fan of Let There Be Rock..

Such a bad ass album.

My first thought was Back in Black, although I have fond high school memories associated with Who Made Who and to a lesser extent Blow Up Your Video.

I do generally prefer Brian Johnson to Bon Scott. However, in recent years, I've been counting High Voltage among their best. There are some good songs, and it's got a rawness to it that I like. The "oi, oi, oi" of TNT or the image of Bon hitting on a girl at the movies in Can I Sit Next to You Girl. Simple but effective.

Both singers had very distinctive voices, Scott had a cleaner voice but Johnson had more power IMO, he has a more rough and masculine sounding voice which is very fitting for a band like AC/DC who have always been about fist pumping testosterone.
